Providing Skilled Legal Assistance After a Robbery in Virginia
Fighting for the rights of the accused through 200 jury trials
A robbery conviction can change your life in ways you may not expect. Unlike theft or burglary, robbery involves the use of force to take someone’s property, making it a far more serious charge with much harsher penalties. At Alleman Law Group, PLC we help clients accused of robbery in Staunton, VA by aggressively defending them in court.
Learn more about what constitutes a Virginia robbery charge
There are varying degrees of robbery, and the monetary value of the property stolen affects how the charges are levied. If you’re convicted of petty larceny, a misdemeanor, you may end up doing time in county jail. Those accused of grand larceny, however, face felony charges. A felony conviction may include prison time as well as hundreds or thousands of dollars in fines. People convicted of felonies also lose certain rights as citizens.
Because robbery is a “face-to-face” crime, the penalties are more severe. Its use of force and intimidation make it a felony charge. Armed robbery involves the use of a weapon during the course of the theft, which automatically raises the stakes for the accused.
